Hi gentoo folks
today installed gentoo on a virtual guest using virtualbox on my laptop. thanks to the great documentations i managed to get it running including gnome 2. now i tried to update gnome to the version 3 as described here: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Gnome_3. I run the following command:
Code: | pilatus ~ # emerge -av gnome |
and got the following message back:
Code: | !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-db/sqlite-3.7.14[threadsafe]" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-db/sqlite-3.7.14.1::gentoo (masked by: EAPI 5)
The current version of portage supports EAPI '4'. You must upgrade to a
newer version of portage before EAPI masked packages can be installed.
(dependency required by "app-misc/tracker-0.14.3" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-extra-apps-3.4.1[tracker]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-3.2.1[extras]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "=gnome-3.2.1" [argument])
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
this is my first time using gentoo so im not so familiar with the whole portage thing yet but i think this means i need to unmask the >=dev-db/sqlite-3.7.14[threadsafe] package right? I tried this adding the following line to /etc/portage/package.unmask
Code: | >=dev-db/sqlite-3.7.14[threadsafe] |
unfortunately i still get the same message back. Can anyone help me with this? |

I just found out that I get the same message back if I try to update portage. I updated portage before I tried to update gnome and it worked. So maybe the update messed something up.
Code: | emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse world |
Message Back:

How can I unmask ">=dev-db/sqlite-3.7.14[threadsafe]" ?
I tried to put this line into /etc/portage/package.unmask but this doesent work.
How comes the ">=dev-db/sqlite-3.7.14[threadsafe]" package isn't listed in /usr/portage/profiles? shouldn't all masked packages be listed there?
Is there a way to force the sqlite package to be installed without unmasking it? |

ok i got it working. I went to the the lib to update portage first as eapi 5 was required for the newer sqlite version then i emerged sqlite and after that i was able to update to gnome 3.4. I guess its not the best way to emerge from the lib folder.... but im happy it works now.
Code: |
emerge portage-2.1.11.31.ebuild
emerge sqlite-3.7.14.1.ebuild
